When I first received these photos, I initially wasn't impressed by them. This is why it has taken me almost two years to post them anywhere on the internet.
Even though I didn't like them, I found myself looking at them periodically and would eventually find details that I liked. They felt like easter eggs I planted without knowing, and would only find with time as this trip became more of a memory than an experience.
When I got my first real job, I wanted to make sure that I booked a really nice trip for us to show my appreciation for all the times you supported me when I was trying to achieve my career goals. Booking these tickets was me trying to fulfill that promise.
But now, when I think of this trip I think about how lucky I am. Sometimes I don't believe it.
When I started to cry towards the end of the trip, I told you it was because I didn't want to return to my responsibilities back home. And although that's part of it, what I was really upset about was having to divide my attention from you.
Here, I only had you to be with. I only had you to love and think about.
Loving you with everything I had wasn't just something I could say, but something I felt I was actually living and I didn't want that feeling to end - especially surrounded by paradise.
While most people are trying to design the wedding of their dreams, I'm designing our wedding based off dreams already fulfilled. In the details, I find myself planting easter eggs that are a bit of an ode to this trip.
At times, I'm doing the finding myself.
